Music lovers and theatre enthusiasts are invited to experience two nights of live performance this March as the Albany Town Hall hosts a lineup of contemporary music and acclaimed storytelling.
Kicking things off on 21 March is Live @ the Town Hall, the second show of the 2026 series celebrating original Australian music. Supported through Revive Live, the program continues to bring standout touring acts and exciting emerging artists to Albany.
The lineup features a performance from Perth indie favourites DICE and Sydney indie rock outfit Letters to Lions, both known for their energetic live shows and emotionally driven songwriting.
They’ll be joined by a dynamic lineup of support acts including Boorloo’s cinematic indie band Gap Year, the fast-paced punk energy of Lauren and the Goodfights, and Great Southern–raised, Melbourne-based folk-rock collective Alison Parade.
Manager Arts and Culture Paul Nielsen said the series continues to highlight the strength of Australia’s live music scene while giving local audiences the chance to experience touring artists.
“Live @ the Town Hall is all about bringing high-quality original music to Albany and creating opportunities for audiences to discover new artists,” he said.
“Each show brings together a diverse lineup of acts, and the atmosphere inside the Town Hall makes these performances something really special for both artists and audiences.”
On March 26, audiences can experience a unique double feature from Toronto-based singer-songwriter and storyteller Duane Forrest.
At 5:30pm, Forrest presents Tree of Dreams, an intimate, cinematic theatre experience blending live music, shadow play, object storytelling and projection.
Inspired by beloved works including The Little Prince and The Alchemist, the production tells the story of a boy growing up in government housing who has forgotten how to dream — and the universe that helps him rediscover his imagination.
Later that evening at 8pm, Forrest returns to the stage with Bob Marley: How Reggae Changed the World, an award-winning music storytelling show celebrating the life and global influence of reggae legend Bob Marley.
Through live music, storytelling and audience interaction, Forrest explores how reggae shaped his own life and became a powerful cultural force around the world.
